It appears that Israel is not the only country in the world that appreciates the homemade television series “Eretz Nehederet.”
The T.V. channel CNN recently ran a report about the Israeli comedy program following the end of the series’ seventh season.
The report characterized the series, which translates to “What a wonderful country”, as “a hybrid of sorts between America’s Saturday Night Live and the Daily Show” with John Stewart.
The report combined several sketches from the series, including the one portraying Tzipi Livni spending time on Facebook and the sketch of Barack Obama finding the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accidentally burning the U.S. flag.
It also includes a sketch of a BBC reporter exaggerating the news coming out of a war torn Gaza Strip.
